Watch It

(album: The Compass Project - South Album - 2023)

Watch it
You'll climb that maple tree so high
That you won't find your way back to the ground
Watch it
You'll dump that pedal bike for goodness sakes
If you don't learn to hit them breaks more than you do now
And watch it with your tone
You butt heads with Momma
You don't run this home
Run around it all you wanna
'Cause it's your safe place
To be exactly who you are
You won't always have it easy
But you'll always always have our hearts

They say take life one day at a time and I'm trying
But it's flying
The world spins 'round and there's no way to bottle the lightning
Or rewind it
You're growing up so fast and I wish so bad that I could stop it
The baby I'm so glad that I'm the one who gets the chance
To watch it

When you first drive a car
Yeah that's the start of a lot of sleepless nights 'round here
And I'll watch it
Slowly fall apart when someone breaks your heart
And I can't do a thing to stop them tears
For now we're busy laughing
At whatever's on TV
Someday it'll happen
You'll be too cool for me

They say take life one day at a time and I'm trying
But it's flying
The world spins 'round and there's no way to bottle the lightning
Or rewind it
You're growing up so fast and I wish so bad that I could stop it
But baby I'm so glad that I'm the one who gets the chance
To watch it
God I love to watch it

So tonight I'm gonna soak it in
And let you hug me all you want
'Cause memories last forever
But moments don't last long

They say take life one day at a time and I'm trying
But it's flying
The world spins 'round and there's no way to bottle the lightning
Or rewind it
You're growing up so fast and I wish so bad that I could stop it
Baby I'm so glad that I'm the one who gets the chance
To watch it
God I love to watch it
Mhh watch it
